I live in Auckland, New Zealand. I could be accused of having curiosity a mile wide and an inch deep (something Americans are accused of). I'd be good at gameshows -- I have a smattering of knowlege in a lot of subjects. I used to be able to identify zillions of fonts at a glance but passing fashions and Father Time are fighting over which gets to defeat me first.

This is half-baked, but hey. I'm (reluctantly) going to have to forego some of those pesky diagonals because they're looking just a shade on the wrong side of weird. Particularly in the caps.

Yes, I've done that on some of my fonts, depending on the scale. I should give it a go, I suppose -- but you know me. Most of my fonts are quickset concrete. I can't be bothered getting out the drill.
Onwards and upwards. Well, sideways anyway.

a silly sixties-style font. I've got a different notion for the l/c characters which I've yet to get to.

I derive a lot of amusement extracting round forms from straight sections. Don't ask me why.

An almost normal font with enough heterodoxies to tip it into weird.

I will set myself these impossible and perverse challenges. U/C to follow if I don't go cool on the whole thing.

I suppose I should press on and do the caps. Almost can't be bothered, it's so hard to use. Believe me, this doesn't look pretty without kerning.

A few ungovernable glyphs let this one down. No matter which way I tried to get round it, that crossbar is a killer.This is a clone

Here's one I've had on the back burner for ages but last night I had the brainwave to soften nearly the whole thing and it's gelled a bit more. Gelled or gummed, whichever takes your fancy.

A cross-dressing Compacta. It seems every time a design with a gazillion bricks fails to save (slantfest)I just have to knock off one that uses as few bricks as I can manage. So far both of these "harrumph" reactions have turned out pretty well.
Is this telling me something....?
